His gaze fixed on Peter Parker, Yun Qian's brow creased ever so slightly. "Who are you? And what brings you to my Cloud Sky Sect?"
Peter Parker responded with a nonchalant tone, "As I've mentioned, I'm merely passing through. I was given your token and thought to seek temporary refuge at the Cloud Sky Sect while gathering some information."
Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's eyes betrayed a flicker of interest as he regarded Peter Parker. "Very well, follow me, please."
The ease with which this individual had bested a Great Luo Immortal Venerable was a testament to a power that few could claim, even among his peers. It was highly probable that this prodigious young Great Luo hailed from one of the esteemed Chaos Origin Sects. The Cloud Sky Sect had no desire to provoke such a formidable young talent.
Yun Qian could sense that the youth in black bore no malice towards his sect. Allowing Peter Parker to stay for a while seemed inconsequential. After all, avoiding conflict over a minor issue and potentially fostering ties with such a promising individual could only benefit the Cloud Sky Sect.
"Immortal Venerable Yun Qian, I'm not convinced of this young man's integrity. It may be unwise to welcome him into the Cloud Sky Sect," Peter Parker remarked, his gaze settling on Wang Yi.
Taken aback, Immortal Venerable Yun Qian cast a brief look at Wang Yi before issuing a decisive command. "The Cloud Sky Sect will not take you in as a disciple. Leave the mountain at once."
While Wang Yi had some talent, he was merely average within the sect. His presence was not pivotal. In light of Peter Parker's stature, Wang Yi's significance paled in comparison. The decision to honor Peter Parker's request and deny Wang Yi entry into the Cloud Sky Sect was, ultimately, a simple one.
"No... I passed the Cloud Sky Sect's entrance exam and became an official disciple. How can you renege on your promise and deny me entry to the Cloud Sky Palace?"
Wang Yi's complexion drained of color upon hearing Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's words.
"What? You dare to question my decision?"
Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's voice was laced with icy disdain. "I set the entrance exam for the Cloud Sky Palace. I alone decide the outcomes. Cast him out from Cloud Sky Mountain!"
The Cloud Sky Sect revered the Taiyi Immortal Venerable, who spent the year in seclusion. As the preeminent authority beneath the Taiyi Immortal Venerable, Immortal Venerable Yun Qian wielded unmatched power within the sect. Not even the sect master dared to second-guess him.
What authority did a mere Golden Immortal Realm upstart have to challenge his dominion?
"Understood!"
At the command, the Half-step Golden Immortal of Cloud Palace swept Wang Yi up and hurled him down the slopes of Cloud Sky Mountain as effortlessly as an eagle snatching its prey.
Without sparing Wang Yi a glance, Immortal Venerable Yun Qian extended a welcoming hand to Peter Parker. "Please, young friend."
Peter Parker remained silent, offering a nod to Xiang Fan atop the mountain before following Immortal Venerable Yun Qian into the Cloud Sky Sect.
"His power is astonishing; he's a genius without equal."
Xiang Fan watched Peter Parker walk shoulder to shoulder with Immortal Venerable Yun Qian into the sect, murmuring in awe.
To possess the strength of a Great Luo Immortal Venerable at such a tender age was to stand as an equal among the Cloud Sky Sect's elite.
A genius of such caliber was surely a rarity across the entire Immortal World.
At the base of Cloud Sky Mountain.
Wang Yi, discarded like refuse, picked himself up from the dirt, his face twisted with rage.
He glared up at the Cloud Sky Sect, a feral sneer taking shape.
"Cloud Sky Sect, mark my words. I, Wang Yi, will one day repay this indignity tenfold!"
Wang Yi's fists were clenched tightly as he cast a venomous glance at the Cloud Sky Sect. With countless eyes upon him, he silently turned and walked away.
...
The Cloud Sky Sect was the immortal abode of Immortal Venerable Yun Qian. He and Peter Parker were seated across from each other. Yun Qian regarded Peter with curiosity. "Peter, could you tell me which Immortal Domain you hail from and what brings you to the Longevity Immortal Domain?"
"I'm just a nobody. Let's not dwell on that," Peter Parker replied, shaking his head with a dismissive smile. "I've come to the Cloud Sky Sect primarily to inquire about the Longevity Immortal Palace."
This young man was actually here for the Longevity Immortal Palace? Immortal Venerable Yun Qian's eyes narrowed in speculation. Could this young man have some connection to the Longevity Immortal Palace?
"The Longevity Immortal Palace is a leading power in the Longevity Immortal Realm, on par with my Cloud Sky Sect. My knowledge of it is somewhat limited..." Yun Qian mused before proceeding to brief Peter on the state of the Longevity Immortal Palace.
As a half-step Taiyi expert, Yun Qian's understanding of the palace was superior to that of an average person, even though it wasn't his primary focus. Following the disappearance of the Immortal King, the Longevity Immortal Palace had fractured into three dominant Chaos Immortal Courts. One was led by the direct descendant of the Longevity Immortal King, who continued to safeguard the palace. The other two factions had branched off to establish the Past Life Immortal Palace and the Evergreen Immortal Palace, respectively.
These three formidable Primordial Chaos forces were locked in constant conflict, plunging the entire Longevity Immortal Domain into turmoil. Initially, the triad of Chaos Origin Forces had been evenly matched, with none able to gain the upper hand over the others. However, recent rumors suggested that the heir of the Longevity Immortal King had made an unexpected return to the palace, further straining the already tense relations among the three factions.
The two formidable primordial epoch powers that had branched off from the Longevity Immortal Palace, be it the Past Life Immortal Palace or the Evergreen Immortal Palace, clearly harbored no desire to see the successor of the Longevity Immortal King thrive. Yet, they couldn't help but covet the very successor they feared.
Therefore, the two major forces had banded together with a singular purpose: to confront the Longevity Immortal Palace in unison. The ensuing conflict among the three major Chaos Origin Immortal Sects was nothing short of fierce. Countless Great Luo Immortal Venerables, along with several Great Unity Immortal Venerables, met their demise.
"The successor of the Longevity Immortal King!" Peter Parker's eyes ignited with an intense light upon hearing about the Longevity Immortal King's heir. If his hunch was right, the successor who had so unexpectedly reemerged was likely none other than Lu Xiaoqing.
